Bio: 

I'm just a guy who knows a good thing when he sees it.
As soon as I discovered Drupal in 2007 I knew I found a technology, community, & career opportunity that fit me perfectly. I directed all of my passion to learning Drupal, Developing in Drupal, then immediately to Teaching Drupal.

Drupal Contributions: 

I started the Indy Drupal Users Group in Indianapolis in January 2008, lead it for 4 years then stepped aside when my travels and my business increased. I still participate and present and enjoy it very much.
I'm a moderator on Groups.Drupal.org where I help delete spam, help group-managers use panels to layout their group pages, and help abandoned groups find new managers.

I'm an unstoppable Drupal Trainer who travels extensively to public groups, companies, government agencies, etc to place the power of Drupal in the hands of the people that require it., I'm one of the busiest Drupal evangelists around. In 2010 I traveled and spoke at 12 Drupalcamps as well as DrupalCon San Francisco, SouthEastLinuxFest, WebContent Conference, The UniForum Chicago, and private sessions on University campuses and virtual meetings., In all I've been to over 100 DrupalCamps delivering training.
